Research direction

Reproduce the two supplied CyberChef links and compare their behavior with recipes that do not contain a '%' sign. Trace the shared recipe URL or hash handling entry point used by all operations; done means '%' inputs no longer lead to the browser-unsupported page, while the reported recipes still work.
